Hellboy comes home

I've really only seen the first Hellboy movie years back (I also love Mike Mignola's work), but I was glad to try my hand at this--as you can see, I only had a little time to work on this, but it was really fun! Sorry it's a bit late.

Amazing Screw-on Head!

So... um... I am assuming Amazing Screw on Head lives in the same universe as Hellboy, thusly making this post appropriate. B00. Yah.

Hand of Doom indeed!

So, this weeks theme was awesome! I love Mignola's Hellboy and all the universe he has created around it. But, I have to say I have fallen into shame here. As I was drawing my Hellboy piece I got so exited after doing the rough for the pose that I immediately started inking it and; I'm ashamed to say; forgot the right hand of doom. I know I can never call me a Hellboy fan ever again.

Anyway I fixed the thing with a little help from Adobe Photoshop and here it is. Oh! and he is fighting Nazi tentacles because... well, because what else can he fight?

My last Hellboy post,...honest

So I love Hellboy. I caught on to it late, and it was like Christmas because I got to go out and buy like 4 trades to catch up, and just slowly savor them. It's got so many elements right up my alley. And on top of all that, the creative teams behind all the spin off books, are like a who's who of some of my favorite artists (Duncan Fegredo! Guy Davis! YES!!). So here's to you Mike Mignola, thanks for having fun while you drew.

ps. as usual, I have posted the process pics here on my blog.
Two versions, first just a scan of the painting, then a doctored version with title.

Hellboy

IT'S MY WEEK TO CHOOSE!!! WOOOOO!!! Not bad for drawn on a plane going on vacation, then drawn under a palm tree, and eventually inked back at my desk, this thing took 1000's of miles to complete! I figured I'd try something new with the color pencil and ink, I'm pretty happy with how it came out and am definitely going to play around with this more in the future.

Right Hand of Doom

Every time I think about Hellboy, I wish I could draw like Mignola. Man is a master. And I just can't be him, which is fine cause we already have Mike. We don't need another. But, man, it'd be great to have his skills.

Did this with my new cool/warm grey marker sets (working on marker commissions for upcoming con season). Love these things and am excited to learn how to do them better.

Abe, honest....

I really like Abe too, and in the movie adaptations they made him pretty cool. But this is comic book Abe. Enjoy. Oh and the process pics are up on my blog, if you want to see how this painting came to life. And the black and white version is for Phil.

Johann Krauss is cool,....

...regardless of how he was portrayed in the second Hellboy movie. So I chose to draw his comic book design. Go check out the process of this painting here.
